Shrimp Salad Stuffed Avocados in Christmas Side Dishes,This is one of my husband's favorites, even though it's pretty enough to serve at a ladies luncheon. When I needed a quick main-dish salad for my book club, I just tripled the recipe and got raves! Try it with imitation crabmeat, too. For a salty punch, top these babies off with crumbled feta. You deserve it.

Sweet Potato Casserole in Christmas Side Dishes,Sweet potato casseroles with marshmallows are very controversial. Some people hate the candy-like element they add to the Thanksgiving spread. This casserole is for everyone in that camp. In their place is a buttery pecan topping. It's still sweet (thanks to the brown sugar), but not enough to make it taste like straight-up dessert. If, on the other hand, you are pro-marshmallow, feel free to throw it on top of the pecan crumble here. Regardless, below are some basic sweet potato casserole tips you should be following. Below are some easy tips to make YOUR perfect sweet potato casserole.
Sweet Potato Casserole
Mashed Sweet Potatoes in Christmas Side Dishes,Sweet potatoes are giving russets a run for their money. It’s about time I shared a mashed sweet potato recipe. The problem with most mashed sweet potatoes is that they’re made even sweeter with brown sugar and marshmallows. Sweet potatoes are already plenty sweet on their own! So, I added savory ingredients to my mashed sweet potatoes to balance out that inherent sweetness. Finely chopped fresh parsley and green onion combined with some sour cream and butter are all you need for incredible savory mashed sweet potatoes.
Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Healthy Asparagus in Christmas Side Dishes,Here's the quickest and easiest way to cook asparagus on the stovetop! Takes only 10 minutes tops. You don’t have to submerge the asparagus completely in the water. If the water doesn’t cover the asparagus, use a lid to cover the pan to capture the heat of the steam. Cook the asparagus no longer than 6 minutes, then rinse them with cool water for a few seconds to stop the cooking. Vegetables will go from vibrant green to olive green at about the 7 minute mark of cooking.

Candied Carrots in Christmas Side Dishes,Sliced carrots are glazed in a buttery brown sugar sauce for a colorful, crowd-pleasing side dish.

Grilled Asparagus in Christmas Side Dishes,When it's nice out, always grill your vegetables. Those grill marks add so much flavor. And can make pretty much any green vegetable feel like less of a chore. Nothing beats the flavor of asparagus, coated in olive oil, sprinkled with salt, and quickly grilled. Mmm. Asparagus. You can steam them, boil them, roast them, but I don’t think anything beats the flavor of asparagus that are simply grilled. The smoky flavor, the char marks. Tender, but still with a little crunch. Seriously good!

Double-Baked Mashed Potatoes in Christmas Side Dishes,Dress up an all-time favorite comfort food with savory fixings. This is an easy twice baked mashed potatoes recipe that delivers big flavor. Better still, you can effortlessly double or triple it for a crowd.

Easy Spaghetti Meat Sauce in Christmas Side Dishes,Sometimes you need something easy and fast. This Easy Spaghetti Meat Sauce starts off with canned spaghetti sauce but elevates it with a few simple ingredients. There are many tutorials on spaghetti recipes online, but the main difference is what sauce to use. Spaghetti is popular with many people, not only because of its taste but also because it is easy to make, you can make several kinds of spaghetti, of course, each kind of taste is worth sharing, So let's take a look at these spaghetti recipes and hope you enjoy them!
Easy Spaghetti Meat Sauce
Fruit Pizza in Christmas Side Dishes,This fruit pizza starts with a slightly doughy jumbo sugar cookie, which already seems like it can’t get any better, but buckle up. It’s about to get WAY wild in here. The jumbo sugar cookie is intentionally underbaked so it stays nice and soft and doughy. It’s topped with a cream cheese frosting – repeat: cream cheese frosting – and then it’s decorated with juicy, colorful fruit in a meticulous rainbow pattern.

Bacon Sweet Potato Soup in Christmas Side Dishes,Take a break from mashing and turn sweet potatoes into this silky soup. Make this soup as part of a holiday menu or re-purpose use leftover sweet potatoes for a lighter meal the next day. This comforting soup has all of the flavors of a stew that has been simmering for hours, but it requires only forty minutes of your time. This quick alternative is perfect for wintery weeknights when a bowl of steaming hot soup is the ideal meal.

Hoisin Glazed Brussels Sprouts in Christmas Side Dishes,Brussels sprouts steamed briefly and then stir-fried with a sweet and tangy hoisin glaze. Do you ever order mu shu pork at a Chinese restaurant? It’s my favorite, and I think it’s mostly because of the sauce, that thick, dark, gooey, sweet and spicy hoisin sauce. Hoisin sauce is readily available in the Asian section of the grocery aisle, at least around here, and you can use it as a dipping sauce or glaze for practically anything—wings, meatloaf, ribs, salmon, eggplant, meatballs, chicken, and in this case, Brussels sprouts. It's absolutely delicious. Try it out!

Classic Roasted Brussels Sprouts in Christmas Side Dishes,Raise your hand if you love roasted Brussels sprouts! Mega fan, right here. And now that Brussels sprouts season has officially rolled back around again, you can pretty much count on these being on the menu as often as possible in our little kitchen. We freaking love Brussels sprouts. Love to shred them up for salads, stuff them in tacos, stir them in with pasta and gnocchi, add them to stir-fries, sprinkle them on pizzas — you name it, I’ll find an excuse to add Brussels to it. But the vast majority of the time, I usually just keep things simple and cook them my favorite way — roasted Brussels sprouts made simply with olive oil, salt and pepper.

Bacon Roasted Brussels Sprouts in Christmas Side Dishes,These bacon roasted brussels sprouts are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and full of smoky flavor. An easy side dish that will convert even the most staunch brussels sprouts, haters! They are the perfect side dish for a holiday dinner, or for an everyday meal. They’re great paired with chicken, steak or pork. I often serve my sprouts alongside a roasted chicken with potatoes.
Bacon Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Sweet Potato Salad in Christmas Side Dishes,We love this salad warm, straight from the oven. But it's also very good at room temperature one (two or three) days later. You can bulk it up with leafy greens like baby spinach, put it in a wrap, or even top it with a fried egg. The sweet potato salad is your oyster?
